Application filed-Janiiary 15, 1917. Serial No. 142,374.

To (1.? whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PASQUALE FINA, a subject of the King of Italy,residing at the city and county of San Francisco and State ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ShampooPans or Trays, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in shampoo apparatus, andmore particularly to a pan or tray adapted for securing to a chair backto receive the water used in the shampooing of the scalp and townvey thesame to a basin, stand or other suitable drain. To provide anapparatus'which is capable of adjustment to any angle relatively to itssupport and is also capable of extension a given distance to connectwith basins or drains positioned or located a distance therefrom.

In shampooing as at present done the patron leans forwardly over a bowl,basin, or other suita le receptacle and the attend ant applies thematerials and rinse water to the base of the scalp, it passingdownwardly over the face and often into the eyes before draining intothe receptacle, and it is these objections that the present invention isdesigned to overcome.

My invention overcomes the necessity of the patron leaving the chairwhen it is desired to rinse the scalp after a treatment or shampoo,enables the patron to assume an easy reclining position while receivinga treatment, shampoo or rinse and in which position the shampoo or rinsepasses from the back of the head into the pan or tray from which it isconveyed to any suitable receptacle, preferably a basin having a sewerconnection. My invention is particularly adapted for use in barber shopswhere the chairs therein are in a fixed position relatively to thebasins enabling the troughs to be extended to carry the rinse or shampoodrain to a suitable basin and when not in use to be stored in a smallspace.

lVith the above mentioned and other objects in view, the inventionconsists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafterdescribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out inthe claims hereto appended; it being understood that various changes inthe form, proportion, size and minor details of construction within thescope of the claims may be resorted to without departing from the scopea chair back.

or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

To more fully-comprehend the invention, reference is directed to theaccompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view'in plan of anembodiment of my invention, disclosing one of the troughs extended.

I Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation.

' Fig. 3 is an enlarged side view of the adjustable mounting.

Fig. l is an enlarged front view of the mountingdisclosed in F ig. 3.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Fig. 2,illustrating the telescoping extensible troughs carried beneath the panor tray.

Fig. 6 is a view in planof a pan or tray without the extensiblefeatures.

Fig. 7 is a'view in side elevation of the pan or tray illustrated inFig. 6 attached to Referring more particularly to the several views ofthe drawings, wherein like characters of reference designatecorresponding parts, 1 indicates the base or bottom of a suitable trayor pan, preferably oblong in' shape and upwardly bent at its peripheraledges as at 2,-thebent portion being surrounded by a tubular beaded edge2. i The pan is provided at one end with an inwardly curved-head rest ordepression 3 in which is adapted to rest the back of the neck of thepatron, the portions A at either side thereof preventing the splashingor overflowing of the water from the upper end of the pan. At theopposite or lower end the pan is provided with the extension ordischarge lip B, the outer end of which is preferably inwardly curved,as at 4, and at the opposite ends of which curvature the upstanding edgeor flange 2 terminates. Oppositely disposed parallel spaced supportingguides 5 extend longitudinally of the under face of the pan or traybottom 1 from a point adjacent the ends of the curved lip end 4.Slidably mounted in the guides are the nested troughs 6 and 7 having thecurved tubular edges 8. The edges 8 of the trough 6 slide in the guides5 and the edges 8 of the trough 7 are received and slide with thetubular portions of the edges 8 of trough 6. The troughs may be extendedto direct the water from the tray or pan to any suitable place ofdeposit, and when the tray is not in use may be telescoped andpositioned beneath the underside of the tray enabling the same to bestored in a small space. Extending transversely otthe underside of thetray bottom is a suitablycurved mounting 9, the opposite ends of whichare secured in any suitable manner to the underside of the tray bottomadjacent the outer edges of the guides 5. lhe mounting is provided witha cupped recess 10 in which is received a portion of the member 11 of aball joint which is carried in the socket member 12 secured to'themounting 9. The socket carries a threaded locking member 13 which passestherethrough and acts on the other member 14; of the ball joint. Eliemember 13 is formed with a cut out 15 in which is received the portion16 of a support C, the portion 17 of which is adapted for detachablesecuring to the chair back 18. A suitable rest or protecting strip 19 ismovably secured to the upturned beaded edge 2 of the depression 3 and isretained in position by the clips 20.

In Figs. 6 and 7 I have illustrated a pan or tray member not providedwith the telescoping trough members and adapted for use when the chairto which the same is to be attached is positioned adjacent to a bowlorreceptacle and where the troughs are not required.

I have provided a shampoo pan or tray which is capable of attachment toa chair back, one which is provided with an extensible trough portioncarried beneath the same and which enables the fluid received in the panor tray to be drained to any suitable point, and one which is providedwith a universally movable supporting joint which enables the pan ortray to be adjusted to the required angle relatively to the chair backand basin to properly position the mas es? lipped or trough end thereofto the drain receptacle.

Having thus described my invention what 1 claim as new and desire toprotect by Letters Patent is 1. A shamp'ooing apparatus comprising a panor tray having an upstanding circumt'erential edge and provided at oneend with a curved depression and at its opposite end with an outlet lip,guide rails carried on the underside of said pan or tray and terminatingat apoint beneath the edge of said lip, a plurality of telescopingtroughs carried by said guide rails and capable of extension beyond theend of the same, and a universal oint connection carried by said trayfor attachment to a suitable support.

2. A shampooing apparatus comprising a pan or tray having an upstandingcircumferential edge and provided at one endwith a curved depression andat its opposite end with an outlet lip, a pair of parallel spaced guiderails carried on the underside of said pan or tray and terminating atone end at a point beneath the edge of said lip, a plurality oftelescoping nested troughs carried beneath said pan or tray, each ofsaid troughs being provided with a beaded edge and the bead of the outertrough sliding in the bead of the inner trough and the bead of the innertrough sliding in said guides, and a universal joint connection carriedby the underside of said tray for attachment to a suitable support. a

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
